EasyBuild is an automatic software building and installation framework for scientific computing software. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing EasyBuild on Fedora CoreOS.
Before installing any new software, it is recommended to update the system to ensure that all the packages are up-to-date. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo dnf update -y
EasyBuild requires certain dependencies to be installed before it can be installed on the system. You can install these dependencies by running the following command:
sudo dnf install -y git gcc gfortran make zlib-devel bzip2-devel openssl-devel openmpi-devel java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel
Now that all the required dependencies are installed, we can proceed to clone the EasyBuild repository. You can do this by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild.git
To install EasyBuild, navigate to the directory where you cloned the EasyBuild repository and run the following command to install it:
sudo ./easybuild/easybuild/scripts/bootstrap_eb.py install --installpath=/usr/local/software/easybuild --prefix=/usr/local --module-naming=hash
This will install EasyBuild in the /usr/local/software/easybuild directory with the hash-based module naming scheme.
To verify the EasyBuild installation, you can run the following command:
eb --version
If the installation was successful, you should see the EasyBuild version information in the output.
You have successfully installed EasyBuild on Fedora CoreOS! You can now use EasyBuild to automate the building and installation of scientific computing software.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
